Spicy Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

Spicy Cucumber and Red Onion Salad Recipe

Ingredients
2 English (hothouse) cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 red onion, sliced into thin wedges
1 or 2 Thai chiles, stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced crosswise
Instructions
1. In a large sieve set over a bowl, toss cucumber with salt and drain for 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk together rice vinegar and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a gallon-size zip-top plastic bag. Add drained cucumbers, onion and chiles. Squeezing out air, seal bag; shake to coat pieces evenly. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serves 6 to 8.
